Ink.Stamp. Share August Showcase Blog Hop

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog again today, I really do appreciate. This time I am taking part in the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Showcase Hop. This is where we share what we are currently working on. I am making  vintage ephemera for my journals.  I have used the Beautifully Penned DSP, this is free with a £45 order during Sale-A-Braiton. I used inks and stamps to age the DSP and them adhered it to some tea dyed paper I had. I then used the Tailor Made tag dies and cut out 8 tags. I decorated the tags with doilies made with the Encircled in Beauty dies and some die cuts from the Penned Flowers dies.  I love how these turned out, They look so vintage. 

Measurements and Materials

• I used a scrap of DSP big enough for all tag dies to be cut from
• I used Soft Sued ink and blending brushes to ink the piece so it looked old
• I used various stamps with Crumb Cake ink to add the old vintage look
• I adhere some tea dyed paper to the back (paper was 120gsm) this gave the tags enough strength 
• After die cutting the tags and the reinforcers with Crumb Cake card stock I stuck there round the top holes
• I inked around the edges and added stamping on the back of the tags
• I die cut some doilies using the Encircled in Beauty dies out of the left over Tea dyed paper
• I added the scripted stamp from Very Versailles
• I also die cut the flowers & leaves from Penned Flower dies
• These were then adhered to the front of the tags
• I then added some words that I had made on my computer
• To finish off I added 3 strands of bakers twine I had dyed with some Early Espresso ink refill and rubbing alcohol 

Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)
